Nexon Dominations Reality Check

[Muschristian]

I should have said this a year ago.... but have soldiered through seeing hundreds and hundreds of players bite the dust. I have a baby due soon and it will mean the end of this game for me unless you address the issues that have felled many before me.

PLEASE reduce the daily grind and chores of TGs for Mercs, amd NTGs for war, especially NTGs for war im which a person spends days or weeks workimg to upgrade only to then need to work hard to aquire that item, it sicks and does not reward the input.

Star Wars Commander and Clash Of Clans, you can literally pick up the game and go to war and make positive contributions to your Squad, Clan or Alliance, Dominations is a vast opposite a respectful person who doesnt live on the game will quit because they know their casual gaming makes it impossible to make a positive contribution to the alliance in terms of being able to enjoy and partake in wars. The only people it wont bother are ignorant f#cktards or idiots that have more money than sense, dont get me wrong I understand that you need to make money and I USED to spend it, but since the introduction of Stronghold Troops, Embassy and War Tactics nerf I have gone on strike.

Dont get me wrong this really is a very wonderful game (and trust me I have tried many others as I truely want to bin it! But as yet nothing compares)

So I guess, PLEASE just make the game more pick up and play and more accessible and less of a daily chore and you will have more players and hopefully more revenue. I'd buy an event army for 20p but for £8.99 you can jog on!

When I am in a war I am very likely to Crown troops or a War Tactic change to fit my attack in at an opportune moment (what I won't do is spend the ridiculous amount of Crowns on NTGs to be able to go to war in the first place) So from my point of view you would make more money from me if I was able to compete in more wars.


This really is a serious problem, you might think its fun managing Oil, Food, Gold, Diamonds, Fur, leather, Tea, Salt, Wood, Silk, Porcelein, Marble, Cider blah blah blah... but just look at the list its ridiculous and no one who plays the game (after the first 3 weeks where it seems interesting) can enjoy the constant grind and chore of aquiring all this tat and cr4p.

You need to open the game up to include people who have a life and pick up nd play and you will more likely earn more from 10 times more mini purchases here and there.

I hope I have worded this in a meaningful way, its partially negative because I truely am frustrated in the direction the game has gone over the past year and also the fact you dont fix bugs, war matchups and never directly answer consumer criticism or requests. But that said, you really do have a truely awesome game here, dont continue **** it up AND make it more accessible to normal humans PLEASE.

The alliance levels do make it possible for new players to contribute to their alliance. The expeditions are a great solution to trade goods grind(i haven't run out for months)these games are not designed for casual gamers and they never have been....but then again I might be an ignorant f#cktard.

As you wish.

You at least need to upgraded into Atomic and participated some serious war before you making such ignorant comment

 

[rising_meatball]

I am glad you realized that

NTGs and TGs
generals cooldown time
fighters not included in Training blessings

these are the worst things other than p2w features destroying the game for me
and it's completely nonsense they don't listen or solve these problems
i may have some time now to cope with these nonsense features but i guess at some point in the near future I'll quit cuz I won't be able to dedicate that time for dominations

NTG/TG is annoying, but I can still handle it by reducing the war frequency.

What I hate most is never re-balance troops. I realy hate to see all howie-shooter in the war

 

[lettucefolk]

Bedlam, with all due respect, I understand sometimes the frustration of constant vocalization of complaints from a minoriity of the players on every single issue on these forums, but..

Honestly, how much is BHG paying you to patrol every thread searching for criticism of Nexon/BHG and strike it down? Geez, I hope you are not doing it for free...

 

[SiuYin]

Moreover, When one with 3 defensive coalitions and the other with 3 offensive coalitions, it is net zero.
Coaltion dont make any difference compare with the time with no coalition.

And moreover, with introduction of coaltion, you are unable to defense if you got 3 offensive coalitions,
As result, a lot of alliance with the strategy: 2 or 3 maxed base + all maxed offense + some sandbag.

If there are no coalition, it won't be that extreme

 

[Motaz Tarek]

unfortunately i have to join my friends in every war
but what decreases the load is that I don't have to hire coalitions every war
sometimes 2 wars in a row requires me to hire coalitions, that's when the struggle comes

howies and shooters in war are balanced now, not as strong as before
many players are now germans, most of leaderboard top players are germans
and germans either use APC combo or HT combo, both are much stronger than british howies shooter combo if u have the right troop cards for them and train well on these combos

 

[SiuYin]

It is not the case.
Top players pick german is because HT(or APC or standard tank) + EA is very powerful, but the main reason is because EA is an upgraded version of Howie + Shooter Combo
you will find that HT + Green Jacket is also a powerful combo

British shooter now seems not that powerful is only because every war required 4 troop cards. but if the troop space increased to 200 and remove troop cards, you will still find British Shooter overpowered.

 

[Houkai]

Am I the only one who is overflowing with NTGs? You have so majy ways to get them these days it's insane. 3 NTGs per MP battle, Dock, Polo and whatnot.

However, I do agree with generals CD and planes. Although I can't call it dealbraker.

 

[Master Contrail Program]

The airplane training thing is singlehandedly destroying the enjoyment I get from this game. I suppose it's not singlehanded, it's in conjunction with the awful AI that hasn't been improved in years and the fact that they spent all of 2017 pumping up defense and nerfing things like tactics.

24 or 30 minutes per plane is bullshit when they cost 800+ oil and you need at least 3 to be effective.

Honestly though they could stand to lower howitzer and cart training times too. Or implement an escort feature.

Can't speak to the rest as I've given up wars until they provide more perk levels to play for. Rubies? Who cares? Since the only thing to use them on is troop chests for wars. Glory? Completely useless from a gameplay sense so why throw my resources down a bottomless pit to attain it? So that means I have no real use for my generals either, though the retrain time need to be cut to a quarter of what it is now regardless.

Most of these issues can be attributed to the fact that not a single person there plays this game like we do. Having an EA account after what 6 months, 9 months just so you can say, ''See? I do so play! I hear you!'' Or using a dev build with limitless crowns means nothing.

 

[Master Contrail Program]

Yeah, I honestly have no problem with NTG'S on my atomic account. Of course I stay between 1200-2000 medals too.

I'm sure it's far different in the fancy leagues having to depend on the whims of RNGesus to get things like silk and scrolls, rather than from nations that simply aren't represented at high medals, randomly one at a time.

This is afterall the same RNGesus who claims that going 1/8 on fruit trees and 0/3 on mines rather consistently somehow equals 60%.

 

[Manifesto]

I agree with the OP, it is a grind when youre high up, but l also agree with Bedlam, the dock gives you enough extra troops to get the job done.

 

[Manifesto]

The problem isn't that the game is a grind, it's perceptions. If you log on expecting to spend a few minutes on the game just doing a few battles, then you can.
But guess what, this isn't that type of game. Those games have single goals; connect the dots, burst the bubbles, rearrange the blocks, tap the screen, etc.
This game is a story. You start at the beginning with a simple goal, which is to get to the next point in the story. There is no end!
As Bedlam said, this type of game is not designed for casual gamers. People who compare this game with CoC are deluded. CoC doesn't change ''through the ages'' the way dominations does. Yes you can upgrade your buildings or powers or whatever but the basic idea is static and stays as it is, a cartoon! This pleases the children.
Dominations is for grown ups.
If people don't have the staying power then leave. If you want to continue the story then STFU and play! Stop playing AND complaining, it's boring! The game won't magically change its design just because of your puerile complaints.

Speaking of grown ups, Muschristian If Dominations doesn't change soon you'll leave? Why aren't you spending time with your baby regardless? Dominations shouldn't even be a part of the equation!
Put the game down and change the diapers!

 

[Master Contrail Program]

Who appointed you the spokesman for Nexon/BHG? As far as I know you can play your ''story'' without ever going to the forums. Each post has a title that gives a large clue as to what it entails. If they bother you so much then don't read them. What makes your pep rally cheerleading any more or less valid than anyone else's opinion? Just who are you trying to convince? The people who complain or yourself?

 

[KniferX]

While your perspective of the game as a story is fine, good for you if you can keep it up and enjoy the game like that, a lot of the other stuff you said wasn't as insightful.

'People who compare this game to CoC are deluded'
I really hope you forgot to say 'this game's artstyle to CoC'

Otherwise, ding!
- BHG recently copied the missile silo (eagle tower or something) from CoC. Also putting it in Global (WW2) while it should be in CWA. But hey 'grown ups' don't care about historical accuracy, who needs that.
- The rally option (one of the main gameplay differences along with troops returning from battles) has devolved into a speed boost in wars. Ask any experienced late game war player. The late game is all about the deployment of your troops and your decoy tactic while the battle is going on. Sounds familliar.

'CoC doesn't change through the ages'
Neither does DomiNations after reaching Global. Together with aesthetics, the only signifcant changes after that age come in the form of having to loot more (especially oil) and wait longer.

'DomiNations is for grown ups'
The game has a Pegi 7 rating.
Also I think this quip was aimed at the famed 'younger generation', i.e. anyone complaining about stuff in this game taking years to complete is automatically labeled as a person of young age who wants instant gratification.

'STFU or leave!'
A sentence you would expect to hear from a young person with low patience and understanding.
Also hypocritical, you're around complaining about issues yourself.

 

[Manifesto]

You guys don't get it. My main complaint isn't about issues, it's about people who complain.
If people's complaints are justified all good. If they're just whining, I'll tell them to pull their heads in.
I fail to see the point of complaining about a game that annoys, instead of just moving on and trying another game.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

basically u can't go against hardcore bases without op cards anymore
specially EA, it's even more than that when top alliances need also full mercs of EA cuz 4 EA cards are not enough to them and to enhance time score

British shooter howies combo are now not the best option in wars, moreover germans hiring American coalition for factory units get a huge boost in fighters hp as a bonus

and they can to great extent compensate their shooters by taking 33 British shooters from alliance members and train more howies in barracks instead, and that's even more than what they need when they use APC combo

coupled with pathfinder cards (which is much stronger than British shooter), EA, bazooka cards, their troops tear down the strongest bases in no time

 

[Mcnasty]

Did you know that if you don’t suck at your attack and lose all your troops then training times don’t matter. Did you know that if you need to use generals and mercs for a MP attack then you probably just suck. Bunch of crying babies on these forums and I think it’s hilarious.
